Other devices can send you media files that are protected by usage rights and for

the media file provider to track the sending device. Some providers use this service
to reward people who distribute their media files to others who buy usage rights for
the files.
Protected content
enables you to elect whether providers of usage-right protected
media objects are allowed to track transfers and transactions of the objects or not.

IMPORTANT:
Even if the use of certificates makes the risks involved in
remote connections and software installation considerably smaller, they
must be used correctly in order to benefit from increased security. The
existence of a certificate does not offer any protection by itself; the
certificate manager must contain correct, authentic, or trusted certificates
for increased security to be available. Certificates have a restricted lifetime.
If
Expired certificate
or
Certificate not valid yet
is shown, even if the
certificate should be valid, check that the current date and time in your
device are correct.
Before changing any certificate settings, you must make sure that you really
trust the owner of the certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the
listed owner.
